It’s A BIG Blog Birthday – Yes, Ask Sarah Is 5 Years Old Today! {Plus Your Chance To WIN A Copy Of My Book!}

Five years! Are you kidding me? Has it really been so long since I first invited you to Ask Sarah? It’s that feeling that a lot of time has passed and yet it all seemed to happen just yesterday. I feel like I’ve been chatting with you all for ages but when this birthday, anniversary rolled around, five years seems kinda shocking!

 

Just a quick aside – how cool is that 3D graphic above? Mr Ask is awesome at these things and kindly offered to whip something up for me. A round of applause for the clever Mr Ask!

So many questions answered and things shared. For five years I’ve been sharing my life. At first I shared the busy goings on of my kitchen and my little ways of cleaning things with the least time and effort. You had front row centre seat as I set out to learn to sew and so many of you joined me in picking up the needle. I’ve certainly grown into sewing and have posted many tutorials, because I want you to be able to ‘get the look’ too! Over the years you have seen much more of me and in many ways, looked in on my whole life.

You know, since I started out with the blog, my whole personal life has been through lots of changes too! I got married just before I started, so I was joyfully living out my movie version of a dutiful wife in the suburbs. Fully aware that we are not in Stepford! But somehow wanting to be wonderful and have a brilliant three course meal. Of course reality set it and Mr Ask is lucky if I bother four out of five day…. because who would cook when they could sew?

You guys were there while I was writing my book. You might not have known that I was writing one but you liked, shared and commented on my posts, which was such a support. In fact, I couldn’t have written the book with out you! Over the years, I saw which posts got the the most views, which questions were asked, over and over. That helped me to formulate the content of what I think, is a great ‘how to’ book.

But this birthday is not about me it’s about you! If this is the first post you have ever seen, I welcome you with a hug, double sided cheek air kiss and a glass of great bubbles! But if you have been here before, maybe many times, I’m giving you all the above plus a little gold number 5 statuette! We made this blog, babes!

In a bit of a celebration, here are my five posts. First, the five that have the most views of all time and then my fave five posts. I am always so interested to see what is popular – it’s doesn’t always go the way I predict! So you might be surprised at what was popular too! Of course, if you feel like giving me a little blog birthday present, you could post your favourite post on your Facebook and share it with some friends!

Now, enough of my blubbering over this stupendously cool milestone! Let’s have a giveaway! I have 3 x copies of my book up for grabs (signed and all)! Open worldwide, just fill in the form below…….
